The key features of Myna-mini includes support for 22 Indic languages and English for comprehensive linguistic coverage, multiple distinct voices which reflects diverse regions of India, native code-mixed language support for seamlessly handling of multilingual inputs among others.

Moreover, its code-mixed support helps Myna-mini to seamlessly handle text that mixes multiple languages in a single sentence or paragraph. This reflects how people naturally communicate, switching between languages mid-conversation.

Myna-mini is the result of extensive research and development by Gan.AI's team, which includes experts from prestigious institutions and tech giants such as Stanford, FAIR, IITs, BITS, Samsung, Microsoft, and Adobe Research. The team boasts over 1000 combined research citations in the field.
